Chapter 125: Crazy assumption

Ferdinand was neither a good knight nor a qualified lord. When he inherited the title, his father left him at least a small town and three manors. When he was captured, his property was only left. A manor with heavy debts, participating in the Bastille conquest, was simply forced to make a fortune and change his embarrassing situation.
However, Ferdinand is not useless. He is an excellent architect. He has squandered all his wealth on it. In order to study architecture, he has not even traveled a long way to study at the University of the Silver Federation Warlock League.
He has all visited and studied the elven ruins, giant monuments, the ancient Andes Empire wreck and the mage tower. In order to study the half-elf buildings, he even risked his death to go to the silent rain forest and was trapped in the rain forest for half a year. He kept silent about what he had experienced that year, and when he was pressed anxiously, he would jump into a thunder and a fire.
If only this is the case, his life will not be so bleak. After all, many lord and nobles of the Byron Alliance are full of interest in building castles, and there is a great demand for excellent architects, and the treatment is usually good.
But the problem is that Ferdinand has seen too many things. Compared with those conservative lord nobles, his architectural consciousness is too advanced. Either he can't accept his advanced style, or he can't accept the high construction cost of the things he designed.
Ferdinand is the kind of very persistent person, you can not listen to me, unless you can convince me, otherwise, I will not wait!
After coming and going, his reputation naturally stinks, and no one will look for him again. His most brilliant achievement in his life should be that he helped Grand Duke Borg build the Arena of Solo twenty years ago.
Ferdinand, who was unwelcome to see under the leader of the Manyu Army, had a spark with the Evernight Legion.
Ferdinand’s thinking is even ahead of that of Sean, who can surpass the memory of the two lives. Most of the members of the Evernight Legion have been influenced by him.
The most important thing is that the Eternal Night Legion itself does not have an architect that can be used, but the energy that can be used is getting greater and greater. At its peak, a project can mobilize 50,000 or 60 thousand hands. At that time, the Eternal Night Legion used engineering Relief on behalf of others will naturally engage in infrastructure projects.
The Evernight Legion has exactly what Ferdinand dreams of. The two sides are like dry wood encountering a raging fire, and it is normal to hit it off.
At first, the Evernight Legion had prejudices about his identity, but Ferdinand used his own ability to conquer them. He is indeed profound in architecture and has his own uniqueness.
The world will always be tolerant to those who have real abilities.
"This is a drawing sent by the Legion General Staff, and I have repeatedly stressed that we must carry out construction in accordance with the drawing."
Jeffrey, the commander of the first regiment of the affiliated engineering regiment, patiently calmed down. He and Ferdinand had been cooperating for a while, and he had already figured out the other's temper. This man is a donkey and must follow the hair.
"The staff seldom intervenes directly in our construction. Since it has intervened this time and sent the drawings in person, it must be meaningful. Maybe there is any unique strategic significance. We only need to construct according to the drawings."
Everyone has their own opportunities, but compared to Chad, Jeffrey’s luck is a little bit worse. When attacking the Bastille, he was seriously injured, one eye was blind, and one leg was lame. The main force There was no way to get in, so I had to go back to the next best thing, and went to the affiliated engineering group.
His abilities are there. As the first batch of young soldiers, his knowledge is not bad, and he has been smashed and beaten by himself for a few years, and he is also rich in experience, not to mention the excellent young soldiers almost all go to the main force. Now, his election as the head of the first regiment of the affiliated engineering corps is not so competitive.
Since the affiliated engineering regiment does not have a general, it is under the unified dispatch of the Yongye Corps. However, some projects require multiple corps to work together. When the general can't get out of it, the commander of the corps in front will supervise it. Normal military command of the Evernight Legion.
Therefore, Jeffrey often performed the duties of a deputy general.
"The Legion’s staff is a shit? They haven’t surveyed on the spot. Do they know the actual situation of the Bastille? They dare to send drawings over without authorization? I care about his military considerations. Since I am the chief architect, I have the final Judicial power, I do not agree with this plan!"
Ferdinand didn't know what he had committed today, and his resistance was very strong, and the sheepskin drawings slapped.
The length and width have been marked out without any difference. Can they be drawn easily? It must have been rigorously inspected on the spot and considered in many ways, not to mention that this was decided by General Sean personally participating in the finalization, which would inevitably involve the future layout of the Evernight Army.
This is not a hearsay or guessing by Jeffrey, but a speculation from their architectural layout in the past year.
In the past year, the city walls and public buildings they built avoided the Jacobian River. Most of them were built on the top of the mountain.
In name, it is to prevent the Manyu Army from leading the army into the ancient river of Jacob, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and to save land as much as possible and reclaim more high-quality arable land.
It's just that Jeffrey really knows Sean too well. This kind of reason is not justified by him. There must be a deeper consideration.
Jeffrey also had his own speculation, but this speculation was too bold and absurd. He himself was taken aback by this speculation and did not dare to think about it.
When I got the new construction drawings of the Bastille, the guess that was buried deep in Jeffrey's heart came up again, and the more the comparison, the more correct the guess was.
Because this construction drawing is extremely unreasonable in the current environment, but adding my own assumptions into it is really reasonable.
But there is no way to tell Ferdinand about this, not only because this is just a guess that he has not confirmed, but if it is confirmed, then I can't say it, I can only die in my stomach, because this will involve the Eternal Night Legion. Top-level core secrets.
"Sir Ferdinand, I'm really sorry. As the chief architect on the front line, you have such a decision that the staff should communicate with you beforehand, but this time the incident happened suddenly and the staff ignored this. This is the staff. My dereliction of duty is also my dereliction of duty. I am here to apologize most sincerely to you and explain why."
Just when Jeffrey was racking his brains to try to persuade Ferdinand, someone came uninvited.
Seeing the appearance of the people, both Jeffrey and Ferdinand stood up and saluted at the same time, "Your Excellency General!"
The person here is no one else, but Sean, the supreme commander of the Evernight Legion.
Sean is the busiest person in the Evernight Army, and the most leisurely person.
Busy just because many things require him to finally check.
Leisure is because he has done the division of labor very meticulously at the beginning, and has not left any specific things for himself, which is convenient for him to get away and do other things at any time.
Although he had been away for the whole winter, there was a mountain eagle's transmission, and he did not squeeze any military affairs. As far as his work efficiency was concerned, it was handled in a few days.
The Bastille is regarded as the biggest project of the Evernight Legion in the recent period. When I have time, I will naturally come and take a look. I didn't expect to hit Ferdinand in a rage.
Then I remembered that both he and the Military Staff had ignored the opinions of this front-line construction engineer. No wonder people would lose their temper. If they were replaced by him, they would suddenly receive such an unreasonable building. Drawings will also be agitated.
"Your Excellency, you are misunderstood. I am not angry because of this, but there is a problem with this drawing. Look at the map. The original location of the Bastille is the narrowest place in the entire ancient river. It has natural geographical advantages. Just build one. If you withdraw ten kilometers into the city, the area of ​​the city wall will increase by three times. At that time, the number of troops to be garrisoned will be doubled, which is not cost-effective. What's more, the layout of this construction drawing is completely unimaginable. This is not a castle at all, but a port, a port floating in the air."
Although Ferdinand’s expression has eased a bit because of Sean’s words, he will not give up his persistence easily, especially with regard to architecture. If he is such an easy compromiser, he would not be so downhearted before. He clicked on the sheepskin map. Shaun commented.
The location of the Bastille was carefully selected.
The entire Jacobian ancient river course takes the Bastille as the line, showing a gourd shape.
The Bastille is at the thinnest position of the gourd. Since then, the opening has grown bigger and bigger, and then the Manyu army leader of Yimapingchuan, the typical terrain of the floodplain, but with the river of life Jacob turned into a winding river , This place is continuously degrading to the Gobi Desert. It will not take a few hundred years for the army leader of Manyu to become the largest desert in the continent of Ashan.
From the Bastille to the east, although the opening is not as wide as the one on the west, it is still open. After all, there are two large mountains that the Bastille is adjacent to.
Withdrawing ten kilometers inside, the north and south sides are two kilometers wide, and the original wall of the Bastille is just one kilometer away. Even so, Old Bolton took nearly thirty years to build.
And the city that the Eternal Night Legion now rises will directly expand seven or eight times in size.
This kind of scale can no longer be called a castle, but a fortress. Even if the manpower invested by the Eternal Night Legion is not ten years or eight years, it will not be completed at all, and the manpower and material resources invested in the later period will be even more sea miles.
If only this were the case, Ferdinand would not be so glamorous. After all, it was Sean and the Evernight Legion that spent a lot of materials. He wished that the city would be built bigger, so he showed his fist.
But the problem is that the drawings sent by the Military Staff consisted of building a dam-like city wall in the middle, dividing the ancient river of Jacob in two, and then building two castles on the mountainside at both ends of the dam.
This almost unbelievable construction style, even Ferdinand, who is more sturdy in accepting ability, accepts incompetence for a while.
"I know." Xiao En said with a smile, "Six months ago, I took the military staff to walk the lower half of the Jacob River Road and the Andes Mountains back and forth seven or eight times. The drawings you used It was made by our calibration!"
"Since you know, why make such an absurd decision?"
"A lot of things are absurd and there are prerequisites. I will make a hypothesis. If the Jacob River resumes the situation before the dry flow again, would you still find this construction plan ridiculous?"
"Impossible!" Ferdinand shook his head again and again without hesitation. "The Jacob River has been dry for nearly three hundred years. How can it be possible to return to the previous situation?"
"Anything is possible!" Xiao En smiled a little unpredictably. "The Andes Crater didn't have much landform changes three hundred years ago, and the rainfall hasn't changed much. The flow of such a large river says no. No, no one asks where these currents go?"
"This..." Ferdinand blinked. He really never thought about this problem, because the Jacob River has been cut off since he was a child. In his opinion, the cut off of the Jacob River is already a matter of justice. Who would ask why the Jacob River stopped flowing? The weird question of where does the water go now that the flow is cut off?
Ferdinand was a little bit violent, and he didn't have the habit of pretending to understand, and asked, "Where did the water of the Jacob River go?"
"Diverted south and flowed into the swamp of despair." Xiao En said with a smile. "The culprit is just a collapsed mountain range. If this blocked river channel opens up again, what do you think is the situation here?"
"The impact will be great. Not only will we have a huge impact here, but even the pattern of the military leadership in Manyu will undergo earth-shaking changes. But you are just an assumption and it is impossible to appear. Use this as a construction standard. It's too absurd!"
Ferdinand still had an unbelievable look, thinking that what Sean had said was a bit ridiculous, but after the other party said so, the drawings in his hand were not as difficult to understand as before.
Once the hypothetical river appears, rebuild the Bastille according to the original method, and if you put yourself in the river, it will be an inevitable result of being washed away.
On the contrary, this design drawing in hand is full of rationality. At that time, the middle section of the city wall will be destroyed at most~EbookFREE.me~ The two castles located on the mountainside and the large section of the protruding city wall will change As a fortress on the water, it can become a port with a little repair.
Is it true that the Jacob River will not return?
Ferdinand is not a fool. He naturally thinks of the original unreasonable layout of the walled city in the past year. It is equally reasonable to bring this assumption into it.
Could it be that all the layout of the Evernight Legion is based on this premise?
But how can they be sure that the Jacob River will return?
Could it be that the opponent is going to cut through the mountains that block the Jacob River from drying up?
Don't look at Sean's understatement, but it is basically impossible to accomplish this.
Although Ferdinand has not seen the water volume during the heyday of the Jacob River, judging from the ancient river course measured in kilometers, the water volume is absolutely amazing. Can the mountain that diverted such a large river be an ordinary mountain?
How much manpower and material resources have to be invested to accomplish this?
